for those who don't know anything about networking, because they just haven't bothered to learn or haven't been interrested in or whatever, this is an excellent book to get you started. it give a good background/introduction to networking at all levels.

From what i have read of this book it is very good, networking topics are very clear and in depth. Only problems i see with this book is that it talks about 10Mbps networks, but the standard is more and more going to 100Mbps, and soon to be 1000Mbps. And the second problem is that it doesn't cover Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, which like NT Server it is not exactly the same, OS. But all in all this a very good book very informative. I recommended it to anyone trying to get into networking, and even if you know networking, like my self this book is very good, but if you do not know NT Server this is the book to start with. Very Good Book in the end

This is a good introduction to networking for someone with little or no knowledge. It is easy to read and understand. It is written from the point of view of building a business-related network.

The book provides an excellent foundation for anyone wishing to learn networking. It doesn't go into too much depth but it teaches enough so that someone can make a decision about what to move onto next, such as a choice between a Windows or Unix server. Also, the information here provides explanations for terminologies that you might encounter in the future, so it's a good place to start.

I found this book very intersting and analogies were good. A good 101 book to just know how things work.

I liked this book and the topics it covered. I used this book to teach a Networking class and I think it touches on the basics of most topics. I think it was well written and written at a level that most everyone can understand.
